Fantastic job looking great thanks for sharing 🍺🍺👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you Brian
Upholstery is tricky. It was once considered a King's art, much like paintings and sculpture.
20+ yrs experience. Not criticism. Tips.
When you covered the trip with the fiber padding, knock those corners of the board down, so they don't end up tearing the fabric with wear and tear.
Second, when you start applying the fabric, pull one side right enough to hold it. On the opposite side, push the board until the fabric is tight,, THEN tack it down. On the corners, pull up and over the corner, first. This will create pleats on each side and that food will be far less noticeable.
You did well in cutting the foam larger than the board,, bit it needs to large enough that you can tack down through the foam into board, then you roll the top side down, either even with the side of the board or for a VERY SMOOTH look, to the opposite side of the board.
Adding the batting to the top is a great move.
Obviously, the upholstery could be better and will with experience, but the look is absolutely fantastic!
New sub!!!
Love the Christmas tree idea!!!!!!
Keto up the good work!!!!!!
Cheers, Badger
Nice. You may know absolutely nothing about upholstery but clearly you know more than me so cheers for sharing
Thank you Tony
Looks good and seams you know a little bit about woodworking and upholstery
Thanks John. Just a little
Brilliant little stool matt , especially like how you executed the base , nice job!
Thank you very much Billy
It's amazing how a little taper can improve a project dramatically.
Yes makes it much more interesting
Great job Matt thanks
Thank you

Perfect job. Thanks for sharing. You make it seem so easy.
Thank you very much
absolutely awesome video, thank you for taking the time to put it together and share it. Lovely
Have very much enjoyed a longer build video today and what a lovely project :)
Thank you Billy
Looks great. Nice job!!
Thank you
Lovely stool! Your upholstery skills are better than mine.
By the way, I love the low tech "SketchUp". Nice to know that one doesn't need fancy computer programs to devise a project.
Thank you Alan. I prefer to keep things low tec.
Good looking stool, Matt. I'm planning to make a few for my children. I'm hoping that I can find some wild, insane fabric for the top. I can't resist giving them a bad time! Thanks for this video and please, stay safe.
outstanding build thank you
Thank you very much
That's a solid piece of furniture! I really like it!
Thank you very much David
Great looking stool and nicely done as always!

Nice build and loving those socks!
Haha thank you
Simple design and build. Most elegant result.
Thank you very much
Really liked this one!
Thank you
This was really nice, like everything about it. Looks.n8ce with the chair too...
Cheers!
Thank you very much
You have inspired me to make a couple of footstools for the new chairs that we bought...I sure love sitting.
Gorgeous build! I just had a low staked stool with oak and ask, and it's not particularly comfortable without any padding on it, so I may have a look into this design for the next one.
Turned out nice, that. Good cloth skills too.
Thanks Phil
Beautiful, solid stool and outstanding filming and editing! I love everything about this video!
Great job, Matt!
Thank you. That is very much appreciated.
Nice build. It was fun to see the steps how you made this stool! Greetings
Thank you
Nice job Matt really came out good
Thank you Ben
Crazy how well that foam cut on the bandsaw (I too have used a kitchen knife in the past) I will keep that in mind for the next time! Thanks for sharing!
Yes i am never going back to using a knife.
This turned out very well. I like your design and the choice of wood. That lovely piece of oak was a great find. Thanks for sharing your build with us. Have a great week and best wishes.
Thank you very much Mark. Have a good week
I like it.
Thank you
Nice stool, good effort 😀
Thank you James
Love that Matt 👍

Mate, that looks awesome. 👍🏽
Great choice of fabric, and the Danish oil, gose well with all the interior colours. 👍🏽
Thank you Bill
Nice lil stool there Matt
Thank you very much
Constantly jealous of your badgeler pad.
Haha im using that one
Badger Workshop you’re welcome.
👍👍Of great utility in Moments of Relaxation😜😜 Congratulations for Your Work✌
Thank you
Enjoyed this enormously. You know approx 300% more about upholstery than me!.
Thank you very much
Great looking foot stool mate, keep safe and well.
Thank you. You too
Love it Matt.
Thank you very much Josh
If you put the tapers on the outside it could give a slimmer look (shaker-style) perhaps an idea for a small side table 😊
good idea
I thoroughly enjoyed this project. Well done. Couldn't do any better on the upholstery myself.
Thank you very much
Lovely build mate. Recently upholstered a bench in the same way...
Thank you Dave
Nice job & I approve of your taste in Whisky..
Thank you. Its my favourite
so british, excellent !!!
Thank you
Nice little stool. Love the oak and don't worry about your upholstery skills - worked just fine, oh and erm... you shouldn't worry about your present wrapping skills either, i don't mind my present(s) from you in the Festool boxes they came in, just incase you were wondering what to get me from xmas. Here to help. 🌲🦊🌲
I did not know what to get you so thank you for the help.
Excellent video (looks more cinematic!?) and lovely looking stool, great work 👍
Thank you Keith. New camera
Cracking job that Matt - stunning little foot stool - nice project that, well done - looks just the job that.
Thumbs up pal 👍
Thank you Simon
As always very nicely done Matt 😁👍. Love the taper jig, will have to use that idea. Top quality and very comfy looking results. And I'm sure Andy Mac will be well chuffed with the use of one of his finest measures 😁. Keep it up Matt, always enjoy your projects. 😁👍.
Thank you very much Frank
Very nice job. For me looks looks like you done it before :)
Thank you
That disclaimer instantly made me think of Henry's Cat. "He knows everything about nothing, and not too much about that!" 😂
I shall add this to the long list of things I say I'll make but never get round to making!
Nice job Matt, that's it get ya feet up Mate . !!!
Thank you Brian
Lovely job Matt, nice to see someone else using the screwfix pencils. 👍🏼
Thank you. Im sure they are free to take
Badger Workshop .. I’m there so often I have a huge stash.
Not a scratch on IKEA pencils though!
Nice job Matt, dark in the shop today.
Thank you
Nice stool, There is nothing wrong with your upholstery skills and the more you practice the better you get.
Thank you John
I just love it and for a first upholstery job it came out very very nice and i dont think you know little about woodworking i remind you , you built shepherds hut which is my favorite !!!! As always great job , i really enjoy the video !!!!1
Thank you very much
Great woodworking Matt. I don't suppose you have the measurements for your build? I'm planning on making two similar for my grandparents. Cheers.
cool
Thank you
Very inspiring this one. Think I may give that a go! Any excuse to put my feet up!
Thank you Stevie
Lovely little stool Matt. Very well made too. Better keep the leg jig handy as this could be this years “must have” Christmas present for mums, dads and grandparents! 😁👍
Thank you. Yes i was thinking the same. Im sure a will get some requests for one
Definitely sell some of these and for Oak furniture land prices hopefully ☺️
You will be a dab hand at upholstery before you know it too.
Keep the vids coming they are great mate. 👍
Lovely work again Matt, just one pointer with the upholstery if you glue the foam to the backing board it helps to stop it from moving about, lovely piece of oak though its a fantastic wood, one of my favourites, well done👍
Thank you. What glue works well with foam?
@@Badgerworkshop Just a spray from a can would do or contact adhesive www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=spray+glue+for+foam&crid=DQR5HX49G8U6&sprefix=spray+glue%2Caps%2C144&ref=nb_sb_ss_i_7_10
Great thank you. I will try that next time
Badger Workshop toolstation spray contact adhesive is cheap enough and works well, my daughter (the one that lasered your drinks coaster) and I stripped and reupholstered the four kitchen chairs and a slightly tricker round stool for the workshop this summer (quality time 😀)... you did a great job! The tip we followed was to put a bit of tension on the fabric as you go North - South then East-West in the centre of the base, then to work out from each centre staple again with a bit of tension, so as the foam becomes less springy you've not got flappy bits of fabric....but I too am not an expert 😉
Thank you i will try that
Good job fella. Your best thumbnail yet I reckon. Hilarious.
Thank you very much
Those first cuts were too brave for me. Nice video matt.
Thank you Peter
Lol i liked the disclaimer
Oh and of course the rest of the video
Thank you very much
Now you just have to make time to use it lol!
Yes that is the hard bit
Like the joinery, why's the plug socket next to your chair upside down?
Thank you. Its not
That should work just fine Matt---
Thank you
Lovely! Do you take orders?
Can I ask where you got the whiskey glass?
They were a gift years ago. Similar the the Blade Runner ones
Where do you buy your danish oil in that quantity?
I got it from Toolstation
Badger Workshop nice one cheers bud
I always like to tell Everyone that I use the original SketchUp program! Myself!!?,🤗🤗
Yes and its wireless
I thought you didn't know about upholstery !
I dont but i try
I think you need more lights in your workshop Matt? Or is that artistic lighting for filming? Is your other name Little Jack-Horner?
Trying to be artistic
Lovely job, but why have you still got your boots on.
Thank you. I need to kick them off
When you were gluing up and it was on its side it occurred to me that it could also serve as a top hat rack; you are in England, right? Peace.
I do need a place for my hat
I hope you don't wrap presents with a staple gun! 😂
Now there is an idea
Crap upholstery
😥 I tried my best but its never good enough for you
Nice work Matt! 😃👍🏻👊🏻
Thank you Fred
